Abstract

A control device 110 includes buttons that depict the logos of various entities, 120, 130 stations, web sites, or the like. For example, a television remote control device 110 includes buttons that depict logos of various television stations or networks 120, 130. The television remote control device 110 may also include a multi-channel button that may be personalized or programmed to cycle through a group of stations, such as 'sister' stations belonging to the same network, with successive selections of the multi-channel button. The control device 110 also provides for voice activation.
